Updating to boost 1.81 and removing CMake target links to Boost::boost which are no longer needed

Added boost_checkout_lite.sh which can be used to only clone required dependencies rather than every boost submodule in the /libs folder. The boost submodule can be initialized with: git submodule update --init boost && ./boost_checkout_lite.sh

It's good to see the conversion removed a lot of unnecessary complexity from cmakefiles and source

…xternally.

The boost libs are now statically linked to the nano targets so dynamic linking related functionality has been removed.
Adding several target link references that were missing but not apparent when using the unified boost install directories
Linking to boost stacktrace basic as this is the main functionality we use.
Windows Event Log support has been disabled as there is a compatibility issue with GitHub builders
Windows cryptopp ASM has been disabled since CMake isn't assembling .asm files for unknown reasons.
Added boost_checkout_lite.sh script which can be used to do a minimal clone of the boost submodule after it's been added but not yet initialized.
